goons

Colloquial term for frequenters of the somethingawful forums.

These internet cohorts are highly trained in areas of writing, programming, photoshopping and all things related to sitting in front of a computer. They enjoy using the words 'shenanigans', 'tomfoolery' and 'debauchery'. They also tend to be a bit xenophobic. Although this makes it harder for a typical forum user to become acquainted, this quality also makes their criticism/advice more honest, and therefore more worthwhile.

Goons pay over 15 dollars to post in a forum. This fact alone says everything.
